Progressive media bought and paid for.

Certain tactics used by progressives have become a sign of guilt.  The question was put, whether or to what degree Dr. Theresa Tam worked on behalf of the People’s Republic of China in respect of the world response to the coronavirus pandemic.  Significantly, progressives did not begin their defense of Dr. Tam with the word “no.”

Instead, they began with the predictable cry of “racist!” and then proceeded to change the subject.  The original question was changed to why won’t members of the Conservative party condemn their leadership candidate for his evident racism?  Not finding enough Conservatives to do so, progressives conclude effectively that the party is full of people of defective and unacceptable character.

The CBC released a story that Heritage Minister Steve Guilbeault was going to find emergency support money for newspapers out of a general business Covid-19 wage subsidy, in addition to a $595 million subsidy promised nearly two years ago.  Is it unjournalistic to ask whether the Federal subsidies played a role in the editorial shilling for the Liberal government?

We do know that Dr. Tam serves on the WHO Covid-19 committee, and that committee was thoroughly compromised by China.  That committee downplayed in mid-February the contagiousness of the coronavirus, on the basis of China’s official say-so.  We also know that Dr. Tam claimed that ordinary people shouldn’t use surgical masks for protection because they were ineffective, and, besides, people might hurt themselves.  This was at a time when Canada was shipping sixteen tonnes of medical PPE to China to help them cope with the crisis.

Is it fair to ask whether and to what degree Dr. Tam’s race played a role in her actions that manifestly supported official China?  It is certainly worth asking her why she did certain things when she did – if she will answer you.  One might also observe that she is turning into a shill for the Liberal party herself.

Meanwhile, the progressive defense of Dr. Tam by newspapers leaves them open to the charge of being bought and paid for by the Liberal government.
